Which is the chatty sex?

Which is the chatty sex? Turns out both are. Well, according to this article (study) anyway. I don't buy it, not for a minute. I demand a recount. That's all I have to say on this matter but of course if I was a woman there WOULD be more :-))

This article reminds me of a scene from the 1989 movie Uncle Buck. The dialog below is between Miles (Macaulay Culkin) and Buck (John Candy) - you really need to see the movie to appreciate how fast this dialog was done:

Miles: Where do you live?
Buck: In the city.
Miles: You have a house?
Buck: Apartment.
Miles: Own or rent?
Buck: Rent.
Miles: What do you do for a living?
Buck: Lots of things.
Miles: Where's your office?
Buck: I don't have one.
Miles: How come?
Buck: I don't need one.
Miles: Where's your wife?
Buck: Don't have one.
Miles: How come?
Buck: It's a long story.
Miles: You have kids?
Buck: No I don't.
Miles: How come?
Buck: It's an even longer story.
Miles: Are you my Dad's brother?
Buck: What's your record for consecutive questions asked?
Miles: 38.
Buck: I'm your Dad's brother alright.
Miles: You have much more hair in your nose than my Dad.
Buck: How nice of you to notice.
Miles: I'm a kid - that's my job
